1998 Centurion 24 Hour Race Photos

Here is a selection of photos from this year's race. I hope you
can capture some of the excitement from viewing them. Are you tough
enough to take the challenge yourself?

Here they are. The 6 Centurions relax after the challenge conquered.
From the left we have Roger LeMoine, John Harris, Yiannis Kouros,
Gerald
Manderson, Sue Clements and Norm Morris. Norm is sitting with the Jack
Webber
Trophy which he was awarded as the most worthy performance on the day.
Boy,
it's nice to be sitting down.

Norm Morris finishing. Norm completed this walk only 5 months after a
quadruple
heart bypass operation. Now that must have been against the doctor's
orders
surely? Norm was still smiling as he crossed the line. These New
Zealanders
are a tough mob.

Yiannis Kouros walking strongly towards the finish. Not a bad effort
for
an ultra-runner who has never done any serious walking before. What
would
he do if he decided to train for the event.

They say there's nothing like a real Australian beer and Sue Clements
agrees
as she downs a coldie after just beating the 24 hour barrier with a 100
mile
time of 23:58:40. It doesn't come any closer than that. Well done
Sue.
Sue is now both a British Centurion and an Australian Centurion.

Roger LeMoine in the shorts crosses the finish line. Roger has already
walked
6 100 milers in Europe and England and how he has done it in Australia
also.
Great performance Roger. Just ahead of Roger in the green top is
Australian
John Harris who had 2 laps to go at this stage to complete his second
100
miler. He did his first in1975 and has finally recovered enough to do
it
again (only joking).

Gerald Manderson is a really tough competitor. He easily accounted for
the
opposition in our walk this year and finished the 100 miler in just
over
21 hours. Not content with that, he continued on and had covered nearly
178
km when the gun went at the end of the 24 hours.
